Sunday, Day 5

 Today was an interesting, busy, fun and a little sad day all combined into a few hours this morning.  Because we were up until 2:30 watching the BYU game we all slept in until a little after 7:30.  Emmi needed to be at Fort Gordon to meet her Chief and two other people car pooling to Norfolk, Virginia where they would be boarding the aircraft carrier.  We drove to the airport first thing to rent a car for Annie and I so that we could get to the airport at 4:30 tomorrow morning.  Emmi said not to trust Uber or the taxi services, thus the rental car.  We did check on changing our tickets to leave today but they would not let us.  We are not in love with American Airlines.  From there back to the apartment to help Emmi finish packing and then we followed her to the base to meet her group.  It was fun to meet some of the team that she will be on the ship with and to meet her chief.  Then it was time to say our goodbyes.  Always teary and hard - no matter the circumstances.  

After we got back from dropping Emmi off and running a couple errands we got back and began the process of packing.  Always a project because we always have more to take home than we came out with.

God speed Emmi.  We love you!!
